Ocean SDK
The shortest path to quantum applications.
Overview
The Ocean software development kit is a collection of open-source Python tools for interacting with D-Wave's quantum computers. It provides a programming model for solving optimization, machine learning, and sampling problems. The Ocean SDK allows users to formulate problems in a way that is suitable for D-Wave's quantum annealers and to submit these problems to be solved on the quantum hardware.
